Check out the Student Links Initiative offered by Community Living Ontario 👥✨🌍
Student Links is a mentorship initiative that works with high school students between the ages of 14 and 21, who identify as having an intellectual disability. This initiative helps them explore their interests in the community and possible roles for themselves after high school.
Community Living Ontario does this through one time community meetings and longer-term mentorship opportunities. These opportunities are created by connecting students with volunteer mentors who share their interest(s) and who have expertise and/or job experience in an area the student wishes to explore.
